US election: Trump tells Georgia election official to 'find' votes to overturn Biden win
bbc.com ^ | January 3, 2021 | BBC

US President Donald Trump has been recorded telling Georgia's top election official to "find" enough votes to overturn the election result.

"I just want to find 11,780 votes," Mr Trump told Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in a recording released by the Washington Post.

Mr Raffensperger is heard replying that Georgia's results were correct.

Joe Biden won Georgia alongside other swing states, winning 306 electoral college votes to Mr Trump's 232.

Since the 3 November vote, Mr Trump has been alleging widespread electoral fraud without providing any evidence.

I think the NBC News site or CNN have the full call.

Admittedly, Raffensperger should do his job rather than “find” votes for Trump. But then again, if he were truly doing his job, the fraud in Georgia might have been resolved by now.

Yep, phony Russia conspiracies are fine with the MSM, but 1,500 affidavits swearing election fraud are not.

They’re at a “our evidence is better than yours” stalemate in GA. So where’s the trial in front of the public, televised in primetime? And where are the Trump lawyers presenting the factual evidence succinctly and clearly? Such incompetence in what is an easy case on the facts. Such a fix.

I listened to the first few minutes.
So far President Trump is rattling off very valid concerns.

My question is why did you even “start” reading.

Just verifying that our Lefty "friends" at the Beeb, the Guardian and the Daily Smell are all on the same daily Zoom call with their conspiring pals in the States...  winking face

Maybe, earlier in the call ,the Georgia politician could not contest that he had "lost" many of Trump's votes. Then it is logical for Trump to request that the Georgian "find" some of those lost votes. Without context, the main stream media could be engaged in twisted bias. Do we now live inside a propaganda machine?

Meatspace : Who leaked the tape?
Is the leaker a Democrat and were they in Georgia or D.C.?"

Jeff Greenfield on NPR right now, explaining the impact of the phone conversation.
Greenfield says the phone conversation will repress Republican votes and enthusiasm in the forthcoming Georgia Senate race.

I started listening to the recording of the call. It is obvious the Compost is taking this completely out of context. I am willing to be the GA SOS leaked this call. He needs to be tried, convicted and hanged. What a piece of schiff.

A headline that quotes 1 word. Useless and fake.

Every one in GA should hear this and the response from their SOS. They would lynch him.
